Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Christmas Books of Mr. M. A. Titmarsh: Mrs. Perkins's Ball; Our Street; Dr. Birch; The Kickleburys on the Rhine; The Rose and the Ring; Ballads
I don't know even the Mulligan's town residence. One night, as he bade us adieu in Oxford Street, - I live there, says he, pointing down towards Uxbridge, with the big stick he carries - so his abode is in that direction at any rate. He has his letters addressed to several of his friends' houses, and his parcels, &c. Are left for him at various taverns which he frequents. That pair of checked trousers, in which you see him attired, he did me the favour of ordering from my own tailor, who is quite as anxious as anybody to know the address of the wearer. In like manner my hatter asked me, 00 was the Hirish gent as 'ad ordered four 'ats and a sable boar to be sent to my lodgings? As I did not know (however I might guess), the articles have never been sent, and the Mulligan has withdrawn his custom from the infernal four-and-nine-penny scoundthrel, as he calls him. The hatter has not shut up shop in consequence.
